The Ecological Footprint CARBON footprint
Slide 9
@ Jahangir Alam, TTTC, Dhaka9 Bio-capacity is the ability of an
ecosystem to produce useful biological materials and to absorb
carbon dioxide emissions. What is Bio-Capacity ?
Slide 10
@ Jahangir Alam, TTTC, Dhaka10 How much of the biological
capacity of the planet is required by a given human activity or
population? What is Eco-Footprint ?

Eco-Footprint Scenario
Slide 14
@ Jahangir Alam, TTTC, Dhaka14 Today humanity uses the
equivalent of 1.5 planets to provide the resources we use and
absorb our waste. This means it now takes the Earth one year and
six months to regenerate what we use in a year.
